Air Conditioner Replacement Perth
Advanced Air WA replaces old and failing air conditioners across Perth, handling everything from removing the existing system to installing and commissioning the new one. Whether it is a tired ducted system that costs a fortune to run or a split system that has given up mid summer, we make the changeover simple, and every new system comes with our 5 year warranty on components and units.
Signs It Is Time to Replace Your Air Conditioner
A well maintained system should last 10 to 15 years in Perth conditions. If yours is showing these signs, it is worth getting a replacement quote:
- It keeps breaking down. Two or more call outs in a couple of years usually means more are on the way, and the money is better spent on a new system.
- Power bills are creeping up. Older systems lose efficiency as they age, and a modern inverter system can use significantly less power for the same comfort.
- It uses R22 refrigerant. R22 has been phased out in Australia, so parts and gas for these older systems are expensive and sometimes impossible to get.
- Uneven cooling. Rooms that never get comfortable can mean the system no longer suits the home, especially after renovations.
- It is loud. New systems are dramatically quieter, inside and out.
Like for Like or Upgrade?
A replacement is a chance to get the system right, not just swap the box. We will assess your home and talk you through the options:
- Like for like changeover. The fastest option. We reuse suitable existing ductwork or pipework where it is in good condition, which keeps the cost down.
- Upgrade the technology. Modern ducted systems support zoning, smart controllers you can run from your phone, and MyPlace IQ temperature sensors that manage each room individually.
- Change the system type. Sometimes a home has outgrown its split systems and ducted is the better answer, or the reverse. Our guide to the types of air con covers the trade offs, and we will give you straight advice for your layout and budget.
What a Replacement Involves
- Free assessment and quote. We inspect the existing system, measure up, and quote the full job including removal and disposal.
- Out with the old. We decommission the old unit, reclaim the refrigerant legally under our RTA AU46880 licence, and dispose of the equipment responsibly.
- In with the new. Our installers fit the new system, connect and test the electrics under licence EW 193940, and commission every zone.
- Handover. We walk you through the controller, set up any smart features, and leave the site clean.
Most straightforward split system changeovers are done in a day. Ducted replacements typically take one to two days depending on access and ductwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to replace an air conditioner in Perth?
A split system replacement in Perth typically costs $1,500 to $4,000 installed depending on size and brand. Replacing a ducted system usually ranges from $6,000 to $15,000 or more for larger homes. Advanced Air WA quotes the full job upfront, including removal of the old system.
Can you reuse my existing ductwork?
Often, yes. If the ductwork is in good condition and correctly sized, reusing it can save thousands on a ducted replacement. We inspect it during the quote and tell you honestly whether it is worth keeping.
How long does an air conditioner replacement take?
Most split system changeovers are completed in a single day. Ducted system replacements typically take one to two days depending on roof access and whether ductwork is being replaced.
What happens to my old air conditioner?
Advanced Air WA reclaims the refrigerant under licence as required by Australian law, then removes and disposes of the old unit responsibly. You do not need to arrange anything.
Should I replace my R22 air conditioner?
Yes, plan for it. R22 refrigerant has been phased out in Australia, so keeping an R22 system going is increasingly expensive and sometimes not possible. A modern replacement avoids the risk of being without cooling in the middle of summer.
